Program
The cmc team worked hard to secure a couple of workforce development program grants from the federal and state governments. Cmc's grantscontinue to enhance and support workforce development program directly or indirectly benefiting students and trainees via internships, stipends and other job placement programs through partnerships with community-based organizations. We also designed and implemented cmc work processes that will provide value added services to the network members and partners that we work together with in meeting a common objective of creating a regional workforce development program hub.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $836k to $1.7M (+105%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 100% · 2021 96% · 2022 68% · 2023 97% · 2024 81%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Left out of every figure on this page: $300k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Greater Sacramento Area Economic Council). These are real filings, and they are not money California Mobility Center raised.
From the IRS filings of California Mobility Center’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
California Mobility Center leans on a few funders — its largest provides 95% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund California Mobility Center.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
